In reality, he pays nothing because no company sells such a plan, and instead resorts to getting his programming from the friendly BitTorrent network. So why doesn't Hollywood give folks a decent online movie-streaming service? Everything in Hollywood is governed by a byzantine set of contractual relationships between many different kinds of companies that don't reflect current technology, explains Manjoo, so it may be 10 years before we see a streaming service that offers any movie at any time."
